[R-SIG-Finance] Getting Index Members

[Sankalp Upadhyay]

Hi,

AFAIK, RBloomberg does not support bulk fields. Index members is a bulk
field.
However, the code below works. The returned data structure is not very
pretty but the data seems correct:

blCon <<- try(blCon <- COMCreate("Bloomberg.Data.1"), silent=TRUE)
bulkData <- blpSubscribe(blCon, "TPELMH Index", "INDX_MEMBERS");
blpDisconnect(blCon)

The code is from

Regards
